Shikhar Dhawan's participation in the game is not guaranteed after the southpaw injured his elbow in the last match. Replacing the in-form player will be a task for SRH, given the composition will be affected. Alex Hales is likely to come in.

In prime form: Watson versus SRH bowlers an enticing affair

Shane Watson has been in great form in IPL 2018 and put weight to his show with a scintillating 106-run knock against the Royals.

The opening batsman has scored 175 runs in four matches and has a strike-rate of 176.76.

He has been excellent in the power-plays.

However, facing the likes of Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Rashid Khan will be a challenge.
